Episode 5 - IM Andras Toth on The right way to read chess books
How to read chess books? What kind of books to read? How much time to devote to it? What formats are better? So many questions and only 15 minutes for Ben and Andras to go over them.
International Master Andras Toth is the author of Chessable’s excellent 3-part series Chess Principles Reloaded and a literature major, so he has a qualified opinion in the matter.

Our three main takeaway on how to read chess books:
1. Not all chess books are instructive (learn what kind of material you need)
2. Books aren’t just paper anymore (you can learn chess on many platforms)
3. Make it personal (think how to use what you’re learning, be active during your study)
